antartica: Is it a crime to have shrines for ancestoral reverence and continuity these days in nigeria? Because i have shrines in my place and i dont intend to giue them up for churches and mosques that sows the seeds of divisions and fundamental ignorance in african communities. The seeds of backwardness.

Another tribalism tread.

If I might ask, what crime was committed at the shrine, is owing a shrine a crime, are ritualists criminals?

Yorubas and hypocrisy.so because the murderous shrine was discovered in yorubaland,it's now desecration of traditional worship.bloody people.I have always known that Yorubas are number one ritualists.Terrible set of people

dj187: An igbo commissioner of police desecrating a shrine in yoruba land, i think it is an attempt to retaliate for the okija saga by OBJ & tafa balogun

Short-sighted tribalists.. Always reading tribal sentiments into the most altruistic actions by public officers.If your sister or brother is kidnapped at bus-stop by one-chance bus and slaughtered at one of these ritual shrines, I believe you will not be so smug about smashing up and shutting down these centres of gore and brutal shedding of innocent people's blood.

It is about time! It's actually a crying shame that not more of these are uncovered. Very frequently, lucky escapees from such 'shrines' narrate their ordeal in the media but instead of law enforcement immediately following up with helicopters and dogs to trace such places, nothing is done and whole bus loads of passengers continue to be hijacked at will by these evil people.

Indeed, its more power to his brain cos he is working at very low voltage. He arrested two men and was not sure what they were doing in their shrine. According to him "either they perform rituals, defraud or do both" when has assumption turn to evidence. This is why we keep applauding dullards as dukes
